1. Council Camp Briefing 29 th Students’ Council GM 080410

2. Activity Updates

3. Name Game Checkpoints have been added to shorten the duration of the activity. There will be 2 checkpoints, with the entire batch broken up into 3 sections.

4. Beans Activity No major changes. More beans will be purchased to ensure that there are enough beans to form a visible “RAFFLES”

5. Whistle Activity No more ‘injured’ group. Idea will revert to the original one of a captured group being split up and the rest of the 30ths needing to account for them. To add to the confusion, station masters will now blow a random pattern once their station has been closed. The pattern should not sound too close to the ones already being blown.

6. Heaven and Hell Big lightsticks will be placed next to each puzzle piece so that elects will be able to find the pieces in the dark.

7. House Hike House D to follow the elects on the hike. House Hike should not be a break in tone from the camp. However, it should not be strict to the extent that no talking is allowed during the hike or stuff like that. If needed, House D are to conduct their own activities to try to let elects get to know each other better, etc.

8. House Hike BB: Paya Lebar Area BW: Mandai Area HH: Jalan Kayu Area MR: Hougang Area MT: Tanglin Area All routes are approximately 8km.
